Hello everybody !!

I am back after a few months of my mom's treatment. Her oncologist prescribed her VCD (CyBorD) with lower dose for 3-4 cycles. Also there are supportive medicines like Zoledronic Acid for bones.

When we worried about the painfulness of the treatment and its side effects, he told us that we can wait few more months to start this first line therapy, but the Injection for bone (Zoledronic Acid) must be continued (once in a month).

Now since last 4 months, she is under homeopathy treatment, which is based upon boosting her immune system in order to fight and destroy cancer cells and their reproduction. We are also continuing the injections prescribe by her oncologist.

The latest SPEP report shows a 25% reduced M Band in gamma region, but 2-3% increased M Band in alpha2 regrion. Also there is better blood count (CBC report).

The only problem is the pain in hips are little more and regular than before, and the Beta2 Microglobulins (B2M) are around 4.7 (before it was 3.3 when diagnosed first time). Homeo doctor is happy to see the reports, and assures us about the possibility of total recovery within few months.

I am now worried about higher level of B2M which may damage the Kidneys soon, so we can see the Homeo for another 2-3 months, and then we may start the VCD or CyBorD.

One last thing today, I think that the better way to control multiple myeloma by using our own immune system, rather just killing the tumour or cancer cells. I heard about a vaccine (or may be a virus) that can fight with multiple myeloma cells parallely with the immune system and will keep us in total remission forever... its under trial now... can be a very good news.

All the best guys !!!
